Last
week, a British school teacher in Sudan suffered conviction and prison
for naming a teddy bear “Muhammad.” Local Muslims wanted to stone
her to death for insulting their 6th century prophet. Riots broke
out across Sudan. They carry 6th century mind-sets in a 21st century
world. As in Iraq, any appearance of a republican form of government
or rights for women won’t be tolerated under Sharia Law.

Fast
forward to America: Not one Muslim participated in forming the United
States of America. But today, over 1,000 mosques rise into the skies
over U.S. cities where 2.3 million Muslims colonize America with their
religion and 6th century rituals such as female genital mutilation.
A look toward Europe shows Islam infiltrating civilized nations like
England, Belgium, France and Holland—but then turns them into seething
infernos of racial tension, ghettos and riots.

“We
are the only country in history that ever deliberately changed its
ethnic makeup, and history has few examples of ‘diversity’ creating
a stable society.” Governor Richard D. Lamm

Today,
at taxpayer expense, we build Islamic footbaths for taxi drivers at
airports and colleges while political correctness does not allowed
Americans to enjoy any form of Christian expression in their own schools
or public buildings. The politically correct crowd changed “Merry
Christmas” into “Holiday Season.” Note the irony in all this!

Additionally,
the American public sits "numb" to the invasion of 20 million illegal
aliens. This president and Congress refuse their sworn duty to secure
America’s borders and revoke anchor baby instant citizenships.

Last
month, authorities caught 19 Chinese illegals in Wickenburg, Arizona.
China refused to take them back, so this government issued an order
to not detain them or any other illegal Chinese. Pause to grasp this!

This
president attempts to change U.S. "sovereignty" to a globalist one
world order—a socialist state with open borders. A total of 54 Mexican
consulates aid illegal aliens in major cities. At least 31 sanctuary
cities throughout America provide safety for illegal aliens while
the Congress attempts amnesty and a fast track to citizenship for
illegals. Governors, state legislators, city mayors, city councils
and many police agencies refuse to rid our nation of illegals.

This
country allows another country’s language to take over in front of
its eyes. Seymour Lipset, the renowned historian, said, “The histories
of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are
histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Current day France stands
as a formidable precursor for America.”

All
the while, Americans recline dumb and apathetic on their sofas while
gazing at inane NFL games, drinking beer and gobbling pizzas.

With
continued lack of participation, America’s best days fade in her rearview
mirrors. With 460,000 military personnel in 120 countries, America
resembles an empire. Every empire in history decayed from within.
In the early 21st century, America hobbles off the world stage--overrun
by the hordes at the gates, indolent world conquests and bankrupted
economically with power that no longer enjoys relevance.

It’s
been said that, “Dying empires cling until the very end to the outward
trappings of power. They mask their weakness behind a costly and technologically
advanced military. They pursue increasingly unrealistic imperial ambitions.
They stifle dissent with efficient and often ruthless mechanisms of
control. The creeds and noble ideals of the nation become empty clichés
used to justify acts of greater plunder, corruption and violence.
By the end, there is only a raw lust for power and few willing to
confront it.”

Bush’s
war proves such plunder. The “War on Drugs” manifests unending meaninglessness.
This nation’s debt spirals into the dungeons of despair.

The
most damning signs of this degrading republic manifest faster if Hillary
Rodham Clinton becomes president. We will see the presidency controlled
by two families in the last 24 years. In that time, the middle class
vanished while the top one percent amassed more wealth than the bottom
90 percent. That renders signs of an oligarchy in power.

Common
citizens stagger daily under massive debt while funding hundreds of
military bases worldwide while one president declares wars on nations
10,000 miles away. In the meantime, democratic freedoms diminish (Patriot
Act) in the name of national security. U.S. infrastructure erodes
as millions of illegal foreign men, women and children fracture education
systems, health care, prisons and public housing.

Job
wise, congressional leaders outsourced, insourced and offshored three
million American jobs in the past 10 years. Detroit lost 60,000 manufacturing
jobs in the past 24 months. Congress didn’t blink!

"There
has been a glaring and unfortunate display of incompetent strategic
leadership within our national leaders," said retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo
S. Sanchez, the former commander of forces in Iraq to the New York
Times, adding that civilian officials have been "derelict in their
duties" and guilty of a "lust for power."

The
United States dropped from the world's largest creditor to its largest
debtor. The U.S. military-industrial complex spends as much money
annually as the rest of the military power in the world combined.
All the while, Social Security and Medicaid services sink into financial
chaos.

Last
Tuesday, President Bush vetoed a domestic spending bill for education,
job training and health programs, but signed another bill giving the
Pentagon $471 billion for the fiscal year that began October 1st.

What
do our young men die for? Short answer: Halliburton, Big Oil, Blackwater
and other corporate elites that feed off the Iraq War like jackals
on a carcass.

Our
government resembles a Hobbesian ethic of individual gain at the expense
of American citizens. No one wants to die for a Halliburton or Exxon,
but Bush enjoys his own volunteer private army. It’s the perfect mercenary
force. Thus, 99 percent of Americans remain unaffected by American
kids dying in Iraq.

We
allow our president and Congress an endless cycle of war and conflict
that drains away the morality, ethics and dreams of our founding fathers.

Rather
than speeding into the 21st century--out of oil, with wrecked environment,
scarce water and depleted resources—we need exponential numbers of
enlightened citizens intending, then creating new workable paradigms.
We need reasoned nationalism and fair benefits for OUR citizens. We
invite ‘conscious capitalism’ that benefits us, our environment and
other countries in our world.
